"Geological Map of Scotland Reduced Chiefly from the Ordnance and Geological Surveys...", Geikie, Archibald [Sir]

This superb, large-scale thematic map covers Scotland with the Orkney and Shetland Islands in an inset. It is vibrantly colored to illustrate nearly 50 different geological types. The map provides exceptional detail of the roads, canals, and railways that made up the transportation system. In addition, there are profile maps along the sides and top showing the geology for specific locales. The map is accompanied by a 31-page explanatory note by Geikie. Published by John Bartholomew & Co. Issued dissected and mounted onto linen. Folds into blue cloth hard covers with gilt title and embossing on front cover.
